Wow Chewie! I've missed some great stuff. I really like that guy you made for the MCC. Very unique. I wonder how much cooler it would be if the helmet were white instead of black. It would make an interesting twist.

Yah, know that is exactly the way I would invision her. I like the helmet ipod thing. I'm glad you didn't make her look slutty.

I do like that concept for the humans with tails. Their outfits look very dry and pesent looking. I think we should go with straight stromtroopers with maybe a few extra acessories.  I also like the look of the planet except I would like to see some bigger water regions. Did we ever decide to go with the swamp or just a flat grass/ tree area for the center?

Congratulations JediDre! Is he your first? I applaud the star wars middle name. We almost named our daughter Winter Rose but decided to drop the Winter.

I was telling my Dad a bit about the UGP and he thought it was a really cool idea. One kind of thing he mentioned (guess it goes in the overall design part) is that maybe when people make customs for the diaroma that we could put a little card next to it with a number on it and then in a seperate location list all the numbers, what the custom is, who made it, and how to contact them. I thought it was a pretty cool idea myself. Or we could alter the idea a bit and instead of all the little numbers being in the diaroma, have a seperate list that has all the names of people who contributed customs, what they contributed, and how to contact the person. I dunno, yall think about it.

My idea is to take a overhead picture of the entire project and list out the custom credits with id numbers where each item is placed. These could be posted around the table. It's kind of a last minute thing as we are setting the diorama at C4.

My microman arrived today. I guess I should get the dremel out and get cracking or this will end up like my microman Scorch.

Well, I opened up one of mine.

The body is a standard Commtech Stormtrooper body that we have hundreds of. Nothing special here. It should have been the votc stormtrooper body for the price we paid for these things. But I digress. The helmet is a very soft rubbery plastic. It looks bigger to my eyes than the regular commtech helmet. The Lucas head itself is pretty well painted. He has lots of body and the neck post is the same as the commtech stormtrooper. It's not a ball post head. So this head isn't really compatible with other figures heads unless it's another commtech stormtrooper.

The package says the Saga Collection on it. The card is a nice vintage stormtrooper card. The case is the typical VTSC case but is taped shut not vacume sealed. The white mailer is simple and says George Lucas (in Stormtrooper Disguise) on the front. I wonder how many postal employees will manage to divert these from their home destinations to ebay.

A little bit more notice would be very helpful. Maybe even an email annoucing it.
